Hi,

I was given a Compaq P1100 FD Trinitron monitor with a problem that I'm
hoping for advice on. When first turned on, the contrast is too high,
but not so high you can see the raster, and also is adjustable with the
digital controls. After 10-15 minutes of warmup, the constrast has
settled down to exactly where it should be. From that point on the
monitor functions perfect, with good color and contrast. Any advice is
welcome. Thanks!

If you mean brightness, not contrast, then it's probably normal.
Those monitors are very bright when first turned on, but settle down
after warm up.
